Rationale Surface water flooding - also referred to as pluvial flooding - is caused by intense, highly localised convective rainfall creating excessive runoff that cannot drain away quickly enough. According to a recent Defra report [1], it is the UK’s most widespread form of flooding, with 3.2m...

Rationale Flooding – the most wide-spread natural hazard – affects every country and region of the world. Flood risk is expected to increase due to climate change, as evidenced by recent recurring UK summer and winter floods. The UK climate projections (UKCP18) suggest a >10% increase in heavy...

Rationale Flooding stands as the most prevalent natural hazard. However, whilst substantial research effort has been reported in the last decade to develop high-performance physics-based models for more accurate prediction of different types of flooding processes, these latest flood modelling...

The project is related to the development of a powerful microwave source, able to operate over an extremely wide frequency range (kHz to 10s of GHz). Preliminary work at Loughborough University has

Rationale Globally, ≈175 million children and young people (CYP) are affected by disasters annually. CYP have the capacity to contribute to building resilience to disasters (Mort et al., 2018b), and we need to include their knowledge of their local environment and imagination as, when empowered,...

This project is sponsored by Network Rail and is an exciting opportunity to work on the degradation of masonry-lined tunnels, which pose a risk to UK railway infrastructure. This project will: (i) enhance understanding of the degradation processes; (ii) investigate inspection and condition...

Experienced RAAC asset owners such as Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL) are continually improving and understanding the behaviour of their RAAC. Patterns will only be realised and understood when the whole stock is analysed. Challenges arise during RAAC data capture, such as inconsistencies,...
